I dont believe this. I think they are doing it on purpose as money laundering schemes to enrich themselves and have ongoing projects once the well runs dry next year.
Suarez takes bench time or being subbed really bad.
Always have, always will.
At this point he should be a sub at best. Yey he wil never accept it.
Him being Messi's bff makes it difficult.
This year is the worst I have seen Messi look along with 2013/14. Still easily the best player in the world though even at 60%.
I dont want to see him decline though, rather blame it on injuries,tactics and corona than Leo getting old.
I watch football te escape the grinds of daily life and relax yet im even more pissed off and frustrayed by this Barca.
Its so extremely slow and depending on Messi.
You might as well skip it for a year till we get a new board and hopefully a complete overhaul.
We will be Milan at this rate in a few years. This is disgracefull. Even the average fan would be way better than this board when it cones to transfers.
Yeah it depends. Are we going to have a sporting project with quality signing but get rid of his friends. Or less ambition and more friends staying?
Cant have jt both ways, football is a young mans game.
Penalties dont tell the whole story. Remember that onse season where Real were gifted like a penalty every other match abd we had like zero till february or match. When Real was out of reach we suddenly got penalties every week and the number ended close.
Same with giving Real early penalties...
I hate how people say oh Refs benefits Barca just as much as Madrid.
Still going on and on about Chelsea and Busquets diving vs Inter when its been over a decade.
Everyone that watches la liga knows Madrid gets help way more than Barca.
In reality its the opposite, we get screwed over more than...
I dont mind Arthur but his safety first type sidd passing makes this team worse. In a strong side he would improve and be a good addition. We need a lot of players to go abd be replaced but Arthur isnt one of them.
I think he decides himself. Like Valverde Setien also doesbt have the balls to bench Suarez or make anyone of the veterans angry.
Suarez should be a supersub/rotation player at this point if he wants to stay at this club.
Take a wage cut and do that. Not have power to be an undispured starter...
I still feel its the board/managers style. Suddenly everyone that joins sucks at Barca. Its not logical thats the players.
I guarentee if you put Dembele, coutinho, Griezmann, Arthur, De Jong in a Klopp team they woukd all be crushing it.
What will happen next year though? New revolutionary board wuth vision and guts?
Or lets put Xavi in and hope for Pep 2.0 tiki taka?
I want a Laporta/Rijkaard/Dinho type change, ambition and vision.
I feel as a club ever since Pep that style had become our identity and we have been chasing it...
Messi drops when we cant penetrate defence. Which is obvious with slow plodding safe passing.
Then he drops deep and everyone is static, you need neymar type runs behind the defense, or quick passing combibations to get trough it. Semedo aint Alves and Rakitic and Arthur aint Xavi and Iniesta...
